1. Introduction

BGP-LS ([RFC7752]) defines NLRI and attributes in order to carry link-state information. New BGP-LS Link-Attribute TLVs are required in order to carry the Traffic Engineering Metric Extensions defined in [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-rfc7810bis] and [RFC7471].

2. Link Attribute TLVs for TE Metric Extensions

The following new Link Attribute TLVs are defined:

3. Security Considerations

Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this document do not affect the BGP security model. See the 'Security Considerations' section of [RFC4271] for a discussion of BGP security. Also refer to [RFC4272] and [RFC6952] for analysis of security issues for BGP. Security considerations for acquiring and distributing BGP-LS information are discussed in [RFC7752].

The TLVs introduced in this document are used to propagate IGP defined information ([I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-rfc7810bis] and [RFC7471].) These TLVs represent the state and resource availability of the IGP link. The IGP instances originating these TLVs are assumed to support all the required security and authentication mechanisms (as described in [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-rfc7810bis] and [RFC7471]) in order to prevent any security issue when propagating the TLVs into BGP-LS. The advertisement of the link attribute information defined in this document presents no additional risk beyond that associated with the existing set of link attribute information already supported in [RFC7752].

4. IANA Considerations

 TLV code-point                 Value
--------------------------------------------------------
 1114              Unidirectional Link Delay

 1115              Min/Max Unidirectional Link Delay

 1116              Unidirectional Delay Variation

 1117              Unidirectional Link Loss
 
 1118              Unidirectional Residual Bandwidth

 1119              Unidirectional Available Bandwidth

 1120              Unidirectional Bandwidth Utilization

IANA has made temporary assignments in the registry "BGP-LS Node Descriptor, Link Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute TLVs" for the new Link Attribute TLVs defined in the table below:
